Introduction to Wine Trade Weighted Exchange Rates
Introduction to Exchange Rates
• The exchange rate is the price of a nation’s currency in terms of another currency
• There are about 180 legal currencies in the world • We will define exchange rate as “The price of U.S. dollar expressed in terms of foreign currency” For Example, 1 U.S. dollar = 0.92 Euros, 1 U.S. dollar = 0.66 British Pounds 1 U.S. dollar = 119 Japanese Yen…
Broad Dollar Index : Trade-Weighted Effective Exchange Rate
Construction of Broad Dollar Index
• Weight of each country = bilateral trade in all goods with the U.S. (both imports and exports) divided by total U.S. trade
• Sum of these weights are equal to one
• Real exchange rate index = Nominal exchange rate index *(the
CPI of U.S. / the CPI of a specific country)
• Broad Dollar Index is the weighted average of real exchange rates
Wine Economics of a Strong Dollar
• Imports become relatively cheap in the U.S. market
• U.S. produced wine becomes relatively expensive in the export market
• U.S. wine exports become expensive relative to wine from other source countries in export destinations

Bulk Wine Imports in Million Liters Bulk Wine Exports in Million Liters
Monthly U.S. Bulk Wine Imports and Exports in Million Litters, Jan 2005 – Feb 2015
Importance of Exchange Rates for Imported Wine
• Both bottled and bulk wine are imported from the same set of countries: Australia, Argentina, Chile, South Africa, Euro Zone countries, New Zealand
• However, the import shares vary, thus the importance of each individual exchange rate varies by bulk and bottled imports
• When the dollar strengthens what happens??

Monthly Bulk Wine Imports from Australia Average Monthly Real Exchange Rate AUD to USD
Conclusion
• Strong dollar hurts the California wine grape and wine industry three ways
• From this preliminary analysis there is no evidence that the exchange rates dominate the bulk wine trade
• There are other things that influence the wine trade: yields,
demand changes, policy (duty drawbacks)
Thank you
